  • Patent number: 9098745
    Abstract: In the case of collecting samples, it is difficult to select a representative point of a target area. Thus, the samples are collected from certain positions, resulting in generation of variations of data. The target area is specified on an image to extract features from the target area. Further, clustering is performed for the features on a feature space to obtain representative features, and the obtained representative features are extracted as sampling points.

  • Publication number: 20140122175
    Abstract: A device is provided that predicts in advance a farm that will be liquidated due to farm retirement or finds a renter of the farm. CPU 50 acquires determination timing. This determination timing may be acquired from one stored in advance or may be acquired externally. CPU 50 calculates age of each farmer at the acquired determination timing based on age information that is included in basic information. CPU 50 determines whether or not the age of the each farmer at the determination timing is a specified age or higher. CPU 50 predicts whether or not the each block will be a liquidated farm based on a determination result of the age determination means, information on presence or absence of a successor, and information on presence or absence of intention to expand about the farmer of the each block. CPU 50 outputs the block that is predicted as the liquidated farm and the block that is not predicted as the liquidated farm by the liquidated farm prediction in a distinguishable manner from each other.

  • Patent number: 8534545
    Abstract: A crop traceability system includes: a terminal which moves together with a machine to harvest or transport a crop; and a server which receives an information from the terminal. The terminal includes: a location information acquisition unit which acquires a location information of the terminal; and a transmitter which transmits the location information and a machine ID of the machine to the server. The server includes: a storage unit which stores a location information of a planimetric feature; a receiver which receives the location information and the machine ID which are transmitted by the terminal; and an ID information processor which links the machine ID with a planimetric feature ID of the planimetric feature when a location information of the planimetric feature stored in the storage unit coincides with the location information transmitted by the terminal.
